Higher femoral periprosthetic fracture rate with dual-mobility compared with single-mobility total hip arthroplasty

Aims Dual-mobility implants have reduced dislocation rates in total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly in high-risk populations. However, under conditions of high stress, such as a fall or forced range of motion, the energy that would otherwise cause dislocation is instead tran...

Association between fluid balance, muscle strength, and muscle quality in critically ill patients: a retrospective observational study

Abstract Background Intensive Care Unit–acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a frequent complication that significantly impairs functional recovery in critically ill patients. Fluid overload during critical illness has been associated with adverse outcomes, but its relationship with peri...
